2010 HONOR AWARDS BANQUET

The 2010 Honor Awards Banquet was fabulous! Attendees enjoyed an inspirational evening of incredible speakers. ed-hearn-trophyOur Keynote Speaker was Ed Hearn, Member of the 1986 New York Mets World Championship Team! Hearn’s very promising baseball career came to a sudden halt with a shoulder injury. Less than 6 months later, he was diagnosed with three potentially life threatening health conditions, followed by three kidney transplants! Ed understands what it is like to be at the top, only to lose it all due to health. Hearn shared his personal, inspirational story of the thrill of success and perseverance through the tough times, as well as his passion for others who live with serious health challenges and how to be an encouragement to them. Ed is the author of Conquering Life’s Curves. Mac and Doog Show Mile High Sports Radio
